Fertilising
Lawns need to be fed regularly to ensure trace elements encourage leaf growth and colour, protection from disease and to lower the pH to slightly acidic which is the ideal environment for a healthy lawn. 4 times a year is our recommendation.
Weeds

Dandelions – Clover – Daisy – Oxalis – Dichondra – Hydrocotyl -Onehunga Weed – Yarrow – Docks – Wireweed – Sub/Clover -Chickweed.
All these weeds will be eradicated by Total Lawn Solutions 2 times a year this needs to be done.
Dethatching
This is also known as grooving or scarifying. A soft spongy lawn indicates an unhealthy build-up of thatch which can cause fungus and disease infestations. Thatch won’t allow moisture to penetrate down to the root structure. Total Lawn Solutions specialists use a specially designed machine which will remove some of the thatch and trim the roots, to allow vigorous growth and allows moisture and fertiliser to penetrate to where they are needed most.
We recommend a dethatching in spring and in Autumn.
Grass Grubs
